@Lucky - may I ask where said D-9's are available from?
Pretty please!
@Javlin - damn right, got to stick it to him...
Keep him on his toes... hahahahaa. I must admit, I wasnt entirely convinced about the alloy markings at first, til after I matte-coated and weathered the gear bays... Will post a pic of the result tonight, I guess... need to finish up some of the other alloy codes; I finally saw pictures of the little Hoheitzeichen alloy stamp used on the gun bay walls of a Me262. And considering there is one of those planned in the future, I may as well knock that design up too! I have some 1/32nd codes in red, finished for Wayne too - maybe I should make all this stuff in 1/32nd then scale down for 1/48th. At this point, everything I have done has been in 1/48...
As for a/c, well since I have started looking, I have seen them internally on Fw 190's (mostly D's), Me 262's and Ta 152's. Supposedly they're present on Bf 109's, He 219's and basically everything else, but I haven't investigated that too deeply. And I have yet to see these codes EXTERNALLY, despite reading about them supposedly being seen on the bare metal undersides of Fw 190's and Bf 109's...
